Reina's point of view :

"Mom, please," I pleaded for the umpteenth time for Nadia to stay back. Gosh, this woman was so tough! Can't my cute face pierce through her hard armor? It works on Niklaus and Sakuzi though.

"Reina, I need to leave. I have lots of businesses to attend to," was her excuse.

"Brothers are there to take over your role and you're such a workaholic that you need time to chill and relax - use this chance as a break," I, Of course, didn't give up. Let's just say I've inherited Nik's shameless

bullheadedness.

"I heard your father would stay back, he'd take care of them," she said.

"Are you kidding me?" I gave her a dirty look. Leaving my kids with my father was equivalent to adding another playmate to the kids. Father doted on them and would probably indulge them in whatever they want. "You should know your husband better."

"Ex-husband," she corrected, sternly. I could sense some grudges.

"Fine, ex-husband or whatever, just help me out. I don't trust father with my kids,"

"Reina..." She breathed.

"Please... Pleseeeeeeeeeeeee," I pouted and even batted my eyelids, "It's just a week-long honeymoon. I'm sure you can survive that,"

"Fine," She gave in, at last, pinching the bridge of her nose. Nadia knew what she got herself into and I'm grateful for that - makes the job easier.

"Thank you so much," I grabbed her and pressed an enthusiastic kiss on her cheeks.

I needed to do something for my father; he didn't deserve to be alone. Angela, as usual, destroyed another person's home just to fulfill her selfish desires and I'm here to restore everything to where it was supposed to from the very first place.

I knew Nadia still had feelings for my father but the woman was authoritarian

and would never acknowledge that. While Sakuzi is too ignorant to admit that he needs her back in his life - I'm married now and can't visit him as usual. Done with my first mission, it was time to leave and I allowed the servants to take my luggage to the car.

"Hi handsome," I said to Niklaus who just made his way downstairs. His luggage was being taken to the car too.

However, just as I was about to walk over to him, a voice rang from behind me, "Good Morning handsome,"

What the…

I turned around only to see Ailee come into view and she walked over to Niklaus, monopolizing the first hug I wanted to give to him.

Niklaus was amused by the gesture, yet took the girl into his arms and hugged her back while laughing at the sour expression on my face. Why was I even jealous? He's my husband for goodness sake - it's not like the kids can snatch him, anyway.

"Good Morning my pretty mother,"

I was surprised to see Allen approach me gentlemanly. Okay, my sixth sense was tickling, I don't trust them. What were they up to now?

"What's the catch?" I refused to be deceived by this act of chivalry.

"You're leaving for your honeymoon and the best thing we can do as your kids is to send you off well," Allen said with a warm smile.

"Okay?" Why do I feel like they were more than happy that Niklaus and I were leaving?

"And I hope you kids haven't forgotten you're grounded. I'll make sure Isabella keeps you in check - hopefully,"

At the mention of Isabella, Niklaus' gaze darkened and I quickly went over to him saying, "It's high time we left already, right?"

Niklaus gave me a wry smile. He knew I was distracting him yet he didn't complain because he was shamelessly enjoying the benefit that came with it.

"Fine," he winked at me.

I blushed, memories of last night flooding my head. This man!

"Alright mommy, you can leave now. We'd take care of grandma and pa," Ailee winked at me.

I winked back. It was good to know our deal was still in place. By the way, why does it feel like I'm missing something....or someone?

"A-ha! Where's Neon?"

"I'm here!" The boy shouted, running over to me and almost out of breath.

"Aunty Reina," He looked up to me, eyes dazzling with love and my heart broke. How could Jennifer not love such a cute kid? If only my kids were half as devoted as him.

"I'm going to miss you," I pouted and tugged him into a hug. However, I tactically whispered into his ears, "keep an eye on Allen and Ailee for me, a reward awaits you when I return"

He looked at me surprised yet didn't say anything. I'm sure he got the message already. I pulled away, pecking him on the cheeks before looking towards the others who were playing it cool - I knew they were jealous deep down.

"Are you coming or should I drag your butt over here?"

Ailee was the first to come and I hugged her, "My precious daughter, I'm going to miss you," However whispered into her ears, "Keep an eye on Allen and Neon, a reward awaits you when I return,"

As expected, she too looked stunned but didn't say anything, she slightly nodded.

"Mr arrogance, get your ass over here," I commanded Allen. The boy was as prideful as a peacock. Left with no choice, he reluctantly came over and hugged me goodbye.

"I'm going to miss my boy," I ruffled his hair playfully. Nonetheless, whispered into his ears also, "Keep an eye on Ailee and Neon, a reward awaits you when I return,"

Allen showed more expression than the others, his brows raised questioningly at me but the message was well received.

And this was a tactic to keep them busy and secure the house from getting burned down again. Since all three would keep an eye out for each other, all would be careful not to make a mistake to receive their reward, hehe. God, I'm so smart!

"Alright, goodbye kids," Niklaus gathered them all in his arms and hugged them once more. This was the first time he was going to be away from them for this long. I knew he would miss them greatly.

"Let's go, my wife," Niklaus had a sheepish grin on his face as he said that. He stretched out his hand for me to take which I did and we walked out of the house, all the while waving to the kids.

We walked hand in hand to the car where Niklaus let me in first before climbing in.

"Micheal?" he was surprised when he saw the chauffeur.

Micheal was the oldest chauffeur so far and had retired a few months back so he could unwind since he was pretty aged now.

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be taking care of your grandkids?"

He laughed, "Today's your honeymoon and I can't miss such an esteemed privilege of driving you to the hangar,"

Niklaus laughed too, "I should be the one in honor of your services. After all, if you hadn't knocked Reina down that night, I would have missed such a special person in my life, "

Both men laughed once more and though I smiled, I couldn't tell what was so funny about it. Seriously, how could they be so happy they hit me?

"Alright, let's go then. I don't want to be late for my honeymoon, " Niklaus said, his intense gaze already undressing me that I might as well have worn nothing. That pervert!

"No, we need to stop somewhere first," I said to him.

"Where?" he was curious.

"You'd know soon," was all I told him and gestured to Micheal to drive since I'd informed him of the destination beforehand.

"So?" Niklaus began as Micheal drove off, " I saw you give the kids kisses earlier,"

"So what?" I kept a straight face knowing he was up to his petty shenanigans once again.

"So where's mine?" he demanded.

"What are you? Ten? Are you a kid?" I was flabbergasted.

"If I wasn't a kid, why did you breastfeed me last night then?" he asked with all manner of seriousness.

"Seriously!" I gritted my teeth, going red in the face. How could he say this when we had company?

Out of embarrassment, I looked towards the driver seat and as expected, Micheal heard it all which is why he had put up the partition to give us privacy. Niklaus!

"Stop it, " I frowned.

"Stop what? I'm just complaining of the unfair treatment," He pouted his lips which was kind of adorable. Gosh, I hate this man!"It's just day one of our marriage and you're already denying me, wifey,"

"Suit yourself," I relaxed now the partition was up. He can sulk as much as he wants, I don't care.

"Wifey," He nudged me, trying to get my attention yet I ignored him. Instead, I picked up my phone and texted Isabella.

[You owe me one for last night, Isabella - thank your lucky ass. While you're at it with your boyfriend, remember to take care of your siblings. We're leaving]

If it wasn't because of protecting her, I wouldn't have been in the position of breastfeeding this grown man.

Niklaus gave up upon realizing I wasn't close to changing my mind. Though he pulled many other tricks, none worked on me until we reached our destination.

"We're here," Micheal announced, pulling up at the residence.

"T-this," Niklaus was tongue-tied when he lowered the glass to see the property. It was Kay's residence.

He turned to me, "Why are we here?"

"Do you trust me?" was the question I asked him.

There was a slight hesitation yet he nodded.

"Then, let's go," I intertwined his hand with mine and got out of the car.
